Tobacco Road at WR.
Benson & Hodge’s positions to be enhanced by our J Reynolds?

I remember a Pat Kirwan story where he was talking about watching Boomer Esiason in practice. There was a kid there from his Bengals days who was struggling with the new offense. Boomer would call the play to the team and then translate what the kid was supposed to do to the kid in the old language so he understood his role.
Hopefully Jared can do this for Reynolds. But at the same time, this was a signing many of us said to go ahead and make during the offseason. He probably won’t work out but his best chance of success was back then, not now.

Good and obvious move. He likely won’t have a major impact but at least it gives Goff a WR he can trust.

I wanted us to get Reynolds prior to the start of the season. There were some who strongly opposed it.
You have to understand what we’re getting here. He not a starter he’s a depth piece but he’s a solid depth piece. He has value but do not expect him to be a high quality starter because that’s not who he is.
However with our weak WR corp he should be a welcomed addition.
I like the pick-up. @Phunnypharm is going to hate it.
I agree with Wes here but I’d like to add that out of every low level free agent WR out there that we could have gotten Reynolds has the highest likelihood of success due to his past with Goff.
Hopefully he gives Goff a confidence piece.

I knew we had him if we picked him….was just curious if any other teams felt like he was worth claiming.

Looking forward to seeing that chemistry reignited between Goff & Reynolds…

IMO Goff is complete garbage, maybe this helps us evaluate him a bit. We can only hope and pray to baby Jesus! I can already hear the excuses, Reynolds didn’t know the playbook, that’s why Goff took 7 sacks and threw it out bounds 3 times on 4th down because Josh arrived late after claiming him, lol.
But, I want to be wrong so bad! Deep down I truly hope Reynolds goes wild and helps Goff show us something! Just not counting on it.

I’m not sure that Josh Reynolds is any better than our current WR’s…but he can’t be any worse.
I think people are expecting a lot of JR, my excitement is a little more suppressed.
I hope he brings something to the table and raises the overall talent level of the WR group.

I’m not sure what’s more sad.
-
We just collected another ex-Ram, kinda like how we used to collect Patriots.
-
The Rams #4 receiver from last year is now near #1 here instantly, or…
-
Even knowing the dismal track record of mid-season acquisitions at skill positions, I’m sadly still looking forward to seeing him play.
Please help me choose

He already the best wr the team has, and didn’t cost much at all. Goff has a wr he knows helps as well.
I will say that it is reported that Reynolds asked for his release. He would only have done that obviously knowing we would claim him, so he must really be about the PT and a chance to prove himself. It’s a good signing even if it fails. Because we were already failing.
